Interview: Lead singer from Switzerland speaks to esctoday.com

Christoph Jakob (the lead singer of Heilsarmee) caught up with esctoday.com. The Swiss hopefuls kicked-off with their promo tour in Malta. Three members of the group were guests of the Maltese national final and performed their song You and me.

The lead singer spoke about the issue with EBU and their objection of their stage name and outfits. Christoph stated that this worked in favour of the group as it gave more promotion to their group. Jakob did not reveal what will be the new name of the group.

The Swiss hopefuls will be competing in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 16 May in Malmö.
